Summer Yard

With Labor Day fast approaching, I wanted to take a time out to record what my lovely backyard looks like in the waning days of summer. As many of you know, we live above my husband's law office, which is an old 1906 home in the heart of Salem. Our "backyard" is postage stamp sized and years ago we put in river rock rather than grass (there is grass in the front). I love the low maintenance of the rock and it has been fun to sprinkle pots around the perimeter of the yard. Walk with me on a tour of our mini backyard:

About Me

I am a woman trying to navigate being 50-something, to not dwell too much on getting older, and reminding myself constantly to live in the moment. I am a woman who loves books, reading, and used bookstores (especially Powell's in downtown Portland). I am a woman who is discovering art after years of raising kids, working, and going to school. I am a woman who loves collage, painting, mixed media, and assemblage. I am a woman who loves gunkholing in junk stores and picking trash up off the street just for the thrill of its possibilities. I am a woman who has a mantra to BE BOLD.
